What an iconic interview  I didn't know Lana had known Nikki Lane since the making of Ultraviolence already

She shared her body and her mind with us... but it's all over now. Let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible, flawless material that was made during the "Trans Am-Tropico-Melancholia-Ultraviolence" era. Filled with low quality images of scribbled down tracklists, voice memo leaks, fake versions that resulted from phishing links and dumb producers, stem edits, lies, betrayal, and most of all... the creative mind and voice of Lana Del Rey. Today marks the start of our two-week celebration for the 10th Anniversary of Ultraviolence, the third official body of work that came out of all the chaos and time that led up to it. 2013-2014 was certainly a special time, and I'm sure it is one we will all never forget. For the PWYC music video, the West Coast (Radio Mix), and Fine China rain background noises, purify me... in the name of the father (tropico), son (melancholia), and holy spirit (ultraviolence). Now, dance the night away.

The way she posts this every single time Lana performs yet we haven’t seen the Priscilla hair
 
She really will show the most intricate gorgeous hairstyles for her inspo and then Lana shows up with a single curl in her hair 

these pics immediately gave me 2014:
"so how does it feel to be 28? old?"
"fuqqqq u" 
 

i was in the office today... a 5 minute walk away from where she was...  don’t talk to me
 

Earlier today, Lana Del Rey stopped to meet some fans while out shopping in London, England.
During her shopping, she stopped by a Chanel Boutique.

Ok, after letting this simmer a little bit, L4na was talking about the reception of the album. How it’s going to be received. She said “I really have no idea now!”. She didn’t the mean the direction of the album. She meant the reception.
 
“American Songbook”. She meant the lyrics specifically. Not the genre or the sound. The album is still country. They were asking her about the lyrics. The album is going to be more melodic and less self-revealing. LYRICALLY. In a similar vein to The Great American Songbook. LYRICALLY.
 
I don’t think she’s changing her mind or whatever.

I think Ocean Blvd is basically a fully fleshed out version of Blue Banisters 

rob filming them in the back is sooo !,@:!:?€:@;!:&:?:! we love a supportive dad tho

It's so lana to have whats shaping up to be a better and more planned out set for a radnom music festival in Alabama compared to Coachella.
The lanachella we deserved is one the way

The gaudy L ring and nails  We are so back

Earlier today, Lana Del Rey stopped to meet a fan while shopping at MAC Cosmetics in Westfield Century City Mall in Los Angeles, California.

I think given the ‘culture’ (if you will) at the time with cancel culture being at its peak and the blm movement dominating the US things definitely did get taken out of context by the media, but I do wish she would stop beating a dead horse by bringing this up again after everything that happened last time 

I get why she does it, but I’m so sick of her constantly defending herself. 
 
people are NEVER going to understand her/her art, and continuing to comment on these issues FOUR YEARS later is just not the move. I think the people who knew what she meant knew what she meant, and the people who didn’t never will, no matter how many follow up videos/posts/comments she makes. 

i always love to see lily rose depp her outfits are always impeccable to me
 
also, i was reading up on the theme and im wondering will anyone take it more literally
it’s based on a short story you can read here
 
id be interested on how this could translate in fashion!

one of the CRAZIEST things i've heard reddit "lipsters" say
 
"one for the money, two for the show" -Million Dollar Man
"one for the money, two for the show" - champagne problems
 
it's literally a common expression 
 
soon they'll be conspiring that Elvis copied her as well 

I love how she buys dresses from the mall and second-hand jackets but also flaunts $400k watches. Relatable queen as I would too if I had the money

different insight but I started attending churchome with my friends from my church during covid when things went online (I was not a big enough fan of Lana yet to know that she went there... I'm not a weirdo) and they were all lovely, kind, and supportive. I did not get a single weird vibe from anyone there and never heard anything discriminatory, strict, or brainwashy, and I attended for a year. I know it's hard to wrap your head around a megachurch but the  Churchome leadership is very different from Hillsong lol. They are super chill there, though Judah is definitely eccentric. Just wanted to share this anecdote because I know ppl r worried about/ weirded out by Lana going there

I like those pics but I kinda don’t need them to be for lasso because they really have no personality other than being classic Neil Krug photos so it would be nice if the booklet and shoot was a little more original than those 

I went last night and it was SO special...
the crowd went INSANE when she came out with the Veil,
girls were crying and screaming !!!
and to "My My, Hey Hey" Neil young out of the blue into the black rock and roll is here to stay song.. it was SO iconic... 
also from a crowd view, the backup singers were FANTASTIC they helped bring so much beauty to her performance 
Camillo was cringe to me but the crowd seemed pleased, especially those that aren't LDR Stans. 
The leather men carrying her off during Hope was SO SEXY AND HOT.. and then she came out in the leather "lasso" looking type dress and veil, we were gagged. 
Her and Jon Batiste were MAGICAL AF. and her going to the stripper pole during Candy Necklace was ICONIC AFFFF the crowd was screaming so hard and it kinda low-key is like "yes she can go back to stripping and singing about how she wants or wanted to be loved without being criticized as feigning fragility or glamor" so as a die hard fan since 2014 it really is impressive how far she has come in confidence 
As far as the without you lyrics, I didn't notice her leaving the "your love is deadly" out but she was overcome with nerves before, she stood for like a 30 seconds - minute meditating almost on stage 
anyways, 10/10 might be her best performance ever

Oh also as someone who was there, she was late only cuz like 5 people needed medical attention by her bike lane barricade! 

I agree. Weekend one hologram was addressing SNL, weekend 2 hologram was feminism/QFTC
